Small Supplier Program
Committed to being your best retail partner in Canada
Every day, customers visit our stores to fill their fridges, stock their pantries and find the items they need to live life well. Now more than ever, Canadians are looking for locally-made products and more access to unique goods and new flavours that for generations we have sourced from small businesses like yours. Recognizing this, we aim to make it easier for you to reach those customers by leveraging the benefits of our new Small Supplier Program. Contact us below to learn more about the program, including eligibility criteria, and explore the opportunities it offers.
Program at a glance...
Start strong
We are committed to making it easier to get products on our shelves fast by adjusting supply chain and listing programs, and subsidizing retail industry fees.
Time to grow
Building and growing a solid customer base can take time, which is why we will provide a six-month on-shelf commitment, giving new small suppliers the opportunity to thrive.
Faster payments
Cash flow is important. It stabilizes operations and fosters innovation. Suppliers in the program will have payment terms of 7 days to enhance cash flow and enable reinvestment.
Help when you need it
We are committed to providing the support you need to succeed. This new approach to dedicated support will leverage our organization’s insights and experience to help you thrive.
